Hello,

Can anybody point me in the right direction with regards to a reference for the approach ban requirements in the nz aip. I cannot find it.

Thanks.

Parts 121, 125 and 135 have the same requirements for air operations under IFR:

125.159 Aerodrome operating minima – IFR flight
(a) A pilot-in-command of an aeroplane must not continue an instrument approach to an aerodrome past the final approach fix or, if a final approach fix is not used, must not commence the final approach segment of the instrument approach procedure if, before passing the final approach fix or before commencing the final approach segment, current meteorological information indicates that the visibility at the aerodrome is less than the visibility published in the applicable AIP for the instrument approach procedure being used.

(b) For the purpose of paragraph (a), the final approach segment begins—
(1) at the final approach fix or facility specified in the instrument approach procedure; or
(2) if a final approach fix is not specified in the instrument approach procedure and the procedure includes a procedure turn, at the point where the procedure turn is completed and the aeroplane is established on the final approach course within the distance specified in the instrument approach procedure.
